are detained he's a major shareholder in twitter twenty first century fox and citi group he's been previously named in time magazine's list of the one hundred most influential people the country's economy minister and the head of the navy were replaced but perhaps the most prominent official removed was the head of the national guard prince that had been abdullah he's the son of the late king abdullah and was considered a contender to the throne it's a move that's widely seen as consolidating the power of the crown prince mohammed bin solomon who heads a new anti corruption committee his father king solomon elevated him in the line of succession just four months ago i was here as my one big shot up is our senior political analyst joins us now in the studio what do you make of all of this it's intriguing isn't it amazing you know i mean. there's been signs over the last two and a half years that more of this is coming that there's a young and vicious some claim reckless crown prince or before that deputy crown

prince is rising in the levers of power in saudi arabia certainly has the blessings of his father king solomon and he's really determined to make all kinds of changes in saudi arabia itself and in saudi foreign policy which led as we all know to the war in yemen and the gulf crisis and solved so forth but internally this is new not only do we have a new chapter opening up in saudi arabia we have a whole new book a whole new political alphabet if you will accept i mean with one exception that's still all done in secrecy meaning why those eleven princes why those four standing ministers why all these things why is it really just a consulate power or is there more to it why isn't there more transparency and sharing of evidence and the likes and so on and so forth about the setting up of the committee and what so be that as it may we are really on the brink of of

dramatic changes on the scene within saudi arabia and in terms of its foreign policy and i just want to give you one very important example and you just named have been abdullah the son of the late king abdullah the head of the national. the national guard looked in two thousand and fifteen had been said and i became minister of defense. just few months ago he became the head of all the internal. security forces because they got rid of the crown prince. knife and now he took control of the third most important security apparatus within the country so he has a defense in control of interior and now in control of the guards you see he's he's ambitious he's been accused of being reckless we've got the war in yemen the blockade against cata all these changes that are going on internally in saudi arabia including things like you know the lifting of the the ban on women driving

and wanting to change the focus of islam. bitten off more than he can chew as we would say in slang what is he thinking you know but not. i took a look i'm sharing this just between you and i this is an admission ok i don't want to know about it but i spent all night until three watching saudi television three a.m. three am sort of watching so you and i walk up at eight am also watching so you tell of all the various channels clearly he has the state stage sets clearly all the heads of the major media networks newspapers commentators what we're all already groomed set in motion in order to defend the crown prince his policy there are already new songs for the crown prince and his glory and souls of war so internally they are definitely setting the stage in terms of i just said the three security apparatuses the media and so on so forth and there is president trump president

trump has given his blessings and support to the crown prince you know with the hundreds of billions dollars of a promise contracts and so on so forth certainly supporting the crown prince in his various and visions in the region but most importantly that of the confrontation with iran in the region something that president trump really wants and apparently it promised rapprochement with israel which also president trump wants so it's the no one internally who can who can challenge the current the crown prince now what apparently if there were any there all probably arrested now or in some under house arrest some in the cult in saudi arabia we don't know what goes on inside the kingdom because for two reasons one as we know there's been really you know. censorship if you will over information itself one second because what has been an opposition or look like the opposition has been either arrested or distance third

because in the tradition of saudi arabia really revolting against the royals is is not a good idea has never been recommended i was just reading how the higher islamic authority in saudi arabia. were also already giving the. support to heaven so no but does it all end with this or will it lead to more i think it will lead to more what will then lead to discontent so with these it just might as well always great to talk to you now or to share many thanks to that serious senior political analyst and other developments in saudi arabia the military has shot down a long range ballistic missile over riyadh it was fired from yemen towards the saudi capital's airport who three rebels in yemen say that they're behind the attack as many on one hundred ports. it's not the first time who theory rebels have fired long range missiles across the border at saudi arabia but this missile appears to have travelled the furthest hundreds of kilometers deep into saudi heartland and only taken down close to king khalid international airport on the

outskirts of the capital riyadh. the official saudi news agency is a seed saudi forces fired a surface to air patriot missile to intercept it witnesses reported hearing a loud explosion and seeing fragments falling near the airport the rebels moved quickly to say they were behind the missile attack telling al-jazeera they had launched a burke and two h. missile a scud type missile with a range of more than eight hundred kilometers knocked out of the year. we choose the time and place after collecting information about a target and it was khaled international airport east of riyadh targeted by a long range volcano ballistic missile this is in response to the continued aggression committing daily massacres against the yemeni people. the conflict in yemen pits houthi rebels from the north backed by iran and troops loyal to former president ali abdullah saleh against yemeni government forces back in two thousand

and fourteen the who thiis and their allies took control of the yemeni capital sana'a. but the conflict widened early the following year when a saudi led coalition of arab countries state done with airstrikes to back up humans government in two and a half years the saudi coalition has launched thousands of a strikes the same a strikes that have been repeatedly criticized by the united nations for disregarding the number of civilians killed and return who sees and their allies have fired dozens of missiles into saudi territory last week who the spokesman told al-jazeera that who is the fighters would target any country that attacks them. one man out there and let the. others the target yemen as far as we're concerned are fair military target from ballistic missiles any country that hits yemen militarily will be targeted. yemen was already the poorest country in the region before the war

nearly two and a half years of fighting is lifted on the brink of collapse a crippled infrastructure abject poverty seven million people close to starvation and since april the world's worst outbreak of cholera the u.n. says around ten thousand people have been killed and at least forty thousand wounded mostly from saudi laid is strikes this latest missile attack deep into saudi territory will likely escalate this long running and conflict medium hond al-jazeera at least five people have been killed twelve others injured in a serious side car bomb attack in yemen is port city of aden the explosion happened in the cole marks a neighborhood that once yet claimed responsibility for the attack iran has accused saudi arabia the u.s. and israel of trying to stoke tension in the region that follows the sudden resignation of lebanon's prime minister in the saudi capital riyadh on saturday in a televised statement on saudi state t.v.

saad hariri accused iran and the lebanese armed group hezbollah of selling strife in the arab world he also said that he feared an assassination attempt against him in iran accused me of quote playing a game designed by those who want it for the region they know how to reports now from beirut. there's a lot of uncertainty there is a political vacuum in lebanon and filling it will it be difficult according to the constitution the president will have to formally accept the prime minister's resignation before holding consultations with members of parliament in order to appoint a new prime minister now lebanon is a parliamentary democracy but in reality it is a consensual democracy and the two rival political camps need to agree on a compromise candidate who will be able to form a national unity government because if there is no consensus then the instability will continue and now that will be difficult sagal had e.d. and his allies have made it very clear they do not intend to share power with hezbollah and appointing

a candidate who is close to hezbollah will risk isolating lebanon because saddam had to use decision to resign cannot be seen as an isolated incident it is relinked to what is going on in the region it is linked to the iranian saudi rivalry which is playing out across the region and as of late saudi arabia the united states and even israel they've made it very clear that they want to try to curb iran's influence in the region and the way to do that is to go after its proxies one of them of course being the lebanese group hezbollah which is not only a fighting force it is a member of of of government it has members in parliament so a lot of uncertainty yet again political instability in this country and the fear is that this could prolong it take a long time to resolve and in the interim there could be concerns for security here syrian state media reports the dozens of people have been killed and injured in a car bomb explosion in the eastern city of dead as all on friday government forces declared victory of eisel in the city it was the group's last major stronghold in

power outages across the region it's the second time food to hit this month heavy rain is expected to last until tuesday in the central city of don where economic summits to be attended by u.s. president donald trump will take place. thirty nine years ago today the u.s. embassy in tehran was overrun by student demonstrators who supported an islamic revolution the anniversary has become a day of iranian nationalism this year had strained relations between tehran and washington a surface to air missile was displayed at the celebrations saying the saudi reports from tehran. every year the iranian government and its supporters celebrate student day named for the demonstrators who overran and took control of the u.s. embassy in one nine hundred seventy nine it happened in the aftermath of the revolution that overthrew the royal family and saw the rise of the islamic republic of iran. with the american rejection of the nuclear deal and aggressive rhetoric from president donald trump the annual event has this year taken on added

significance was told us that we've come here to say in a powerful way that america cannot do a damn thing and until our last drop of blood we will defend our country. we have no problem with the people of america but we don't welcome the government of america. each year the old embassy grounds become a rallying point with anti american chances slogans. and the event is an insight into the ideology the iranian establishment works tirelessly to keep alive the events of that they are as important for iranians today as they were thirty eight years ago not just because they want to defy the united states but because the taking of this embassy a symbol of american military might in the middle east at that time by students fuels a mindset of resistance that is woven into the fabric of iran's national identity. and we can see how the government is planning for the future. this show of modern

military strength is all about linking the country's past with its present and a reminder to iran's critics the missile program is here to stay one that was after repeatedly being defeated in iraq and afghanistan by the people of our region inevitably the us is bearing its more mongering and on the other side of the world when intercontinental missiles are being tested and in southeast asia where nuclear bombs are being tested and threatening and bluffing trump just tweets. many of the young men and women here on any other day might be found enjoying american food and music in one of the many western style restaurants that are popular in iran and that appreciation of american style culture is something the government worries about. in the days leading up to this event to civilian and military leaders fiery speeches repeating the message so the young people don't forget for iran america is still an oppressor. papua new guinea's immigration

. on sunday morning whether that offer still stands you of course do not have the second stance is that a strain there is operating under but we also cannot ignore the human face of what a strain ear is dealing with as well said the offer is very genuine and absolutely remains on the table the the offers has been restated we thank you zealand for make that offer we're not we are not taking it up at this time for the reasons i explained earlier malcolm turnbull said he wants to work through a deal with the united states first to resettle up to twelve hundred fifty and the refugees there only once that process is complete well they can set up office but that deal with the us is moving painfully slowly don't trump eight six and only fifty or so refugees have been resettled in the u.s. more than a year after that deal with first announced meanwhile the suffering on medicine or it goes on australia's government is always say the responsibility for the refugees

lies ultimately with happen you denise government so i asked whether she considered making an offer the wrecked government instead would you consider making this offer directly for new guinea leaving australia out of the loop because the offer is still under. consideration by a stray so there is no need to do so but according to papen you gainey that is and they need to do so immigration minister on sunday told us in a text message that new zealand resettling one hundred fifty refugees would be a great relief to papua new guinea and that it's a deal australia must facilitates the bottom line is that without. it doesn't look as though those refugees will be going to new zealand ousted. all political parties in favor of catalonia succession from spain to form a coalition for the region's election in december push them and posted the message on twitter he's currently in belgium
